The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Global Talent Management and Performance in Multinational Enterprises: A Multilevel Perspective (2018, background): “However, context does matter (Johns, 2006, 2017), and recent research indicates the potentially destructive effect of too many stars in organisations (Groysberg, Polzer, & Elfenbein, 2011).”
The Resource-Based View of the Firm, Human Resources, and Human Capital: Progress and Prospects (2021, background): “However, much work focuses on how context constrains firms to become similar (e.g., Johns, 2006, 2017), whether due to market forces, institutional pressures, or legal systems (see review by Gerhart, 2009b).”
Local Government as Institutional Entrepreneur: Public–Private Collaborative Partnerships in Fostering Regional Entrepreneurship (2018, unknown): “In particular, emerging economies provide a natural experiment to study the boundary conditions of prevalent theories, and thus contribute to the advancement of theoretical development (George, 2014; Johns, 2017).”
Driving innovation: Public policy and human capital (2019, background): “One of the dominant themes in the last 10 years of research on human resource management is the importance of contextualization (Cheng, 1994; Cooke, 2018; Jackson and Schuler, 1995; Johns, 2017, 2018; Larsen and Brewster, 2000; Ployhart et al., 2006; Tsui, 2006; Von Glinow et al., 2002).”
